Old Fortress
No. 4 of Best Things to Do in Ionian Islands

Old Fortress

4.2
5.0/5
5 reviews
The existence of the old castle is a symbol of Venice's occupation of this place. Entering from the right is the Church of Santa Maria. The entire building is built by the sea, very magnificent, and the layout is also very clever.Corfu · 8 km from Gouvia
The Achilleion Palace
No. 1 of Best Things to Do in Corfu

The Achilleion Palace

4.0/5
6 reviews
The Achilleion Palace is located on the island of Corfu in northwestern Greece. It was a summer palace commissioned by Empress Elisabeth of Austria between 1889–1891 and named after her favorite Greek mythological hero, Achilles. The beautiful white palace is nestled among lush greenery. Inside, paintings and sculptures depicting Achilles and scenes from the Trojan War can be found everywhere, and nine statues of the Muses stand on either side of the back garden. Stepping into this space feels like entering a garden of the gods from Greek mythology—it is truly romantic.Achilleion · 11.4 km from Gouvia

Holy Monastery of Panagia Vlacherna

Holy Monastery of Panagia Vlacherna

3.5
The Holy Monastery of Panagia Vlacherna is a beautiful monastery renowned for its unique location, pristine white architecture, and rich historical and cultural atmosphere, attracting many visitors. Originally an independent islet structure, the monastery was later connected to the mainland of Corfu by a narrow stone causeway, allowing visitors to walk to it. The monastery is built on a small man-made islet extending into the sea, surrounded by the deep blue Ionian Sea. Its white walls, red roof, and small bell tower reflect on the water, creating a quintessentially Greek view. Especially at sunset, when golden sunlight spills over the monastery and the sea, the entire scene looks as beautiful as a postcard. Inside the monastery, visitors can see traditional architectural decor, including exquisite icons, candle holders, and religious murals.Corfu · 9.5 km from Gouvia

This place is really worth visiting! It was built by the Venetians who occupied Corfu in the 16th century. It was the ancient city of Corfu before. After it was destroyed, the Venetians built this military fortress. From the castle, you can see the panoramic view of Corfu City opposite and the beautiful blue coast of the Mediterranean Sea! Beautiful!

The Achillion Palace was built in 1890 as the palace of Empress Elizabeth of Austria (Princess Sissi) on Corfu Island. It was used as her summer resort. After Princess Sissi was assassinated in 1898, it was sold to Emperor Whilhelm II of Germany.

An excellent viewpoint. On a clear day, you can see the west coast, the east coast, the green hills, the Ionian Sea, and part of central Corfu.
